Wafa news agency reported that the Israeli occupation forces closed the Bab Al-Zawyeh area in central Hebron, in addition to a road leading to Al-Shuhada Street.
According to Wafa, large numbers of Israeli forces stormed the Bab Al-Zawyeh area, forcing local Palestinian residents out of it and shop owners to close their stores to provide protection for extremist settlers’ incursions into the archaeological site to perfume Talmudic rituals.

Jewish settlers regularly carry out raids in this area under the claims of performing religious rituals despite the fact that this area is under the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
